The video, which was taken by a motorist’s helmet camera past midnight on 27 February, featured a group of men speeding along the Central Expressway (CTE).
The owner of the video also mentioned that he also lodged a police report afterwards.
Well, it seems like out of the 25,000 people who watched the video, the Traffic Police must have contributed a few views as well.
Because just yesterday (9 March), the five men allegedly involved in this incident were arrested.
Islandwide Raid to Arrest Drivers
Yup, the Traffic Police did just that.
Armed with the video footage, the Traffic Police were able to figure out the identities of the men involved in the incident. They then launched an islandwide raid to not only arrest these drivers, but also tow their cars away.
The raid to arrest the men, who were aged between 22 and 33, began in the early morning yesterday and continued throughout the day.
The Seized Cars
The cars were seized at various locations, with two of them being two separate multi-storey carparks at Punggol.

Nine cars in total were seized, and the models of the cars included:
- A red Subaru Impreza WRX
- A grey Mazada 3
- A white Audi TT Coupe
- A red Honda Fit
- A dark blue Kia Cerato
One of the cars appeared to be a private-hire vehicle, as it apparently had the relevant decal on it.
Some cars were also equipped with modified gear shifters.
According to CNA, there were also several… odd features observed in the cars that were seized.
Some of these interesting features included a toy police car and even a fake Singapore Police Force (SPF) decal.

As of now, the Traffic Police are still carrying out investigations against the suspects involved in this case.
Cindy New, Traffic Police Superintendent of police, told CNA, “The Traffic Police takes a serious stance against errant motorists who choose to flout traffic laws and endanger the safety of other road users.
“Enforcement operations will be conducted to take these errant motorists to task for their irresponsible actions. Road safety is a shared responsibility. We urge all motorists to practice good road sense to keep Singapore’s roads safe for everyone.”
If convicted of dangerous driving, individuals can face a fine of up to $5,000, a jail term of up to 12 months, or both. For repeat offenders, they may face a maximum fine of $10,000, two years’ imprisonment, or both.
